I liked the actors quite a bit myself. Especially Mika Nakashima and the guy who played Nobu.

Now, there was a lot of wood channelling from two guys who played Ren and Shin (they seemed to just constantly stare with no expression at all), but others made up for this with quite a lot of expressivity. 8)

Admittedly for me, Mika Nakashima acted a little bit bland. I dunno if it's because of the supposedly moody Nana character she portrays, but whenever she (Mika) tries to laugh or smile it's more pretentious than real. The moody or dark parts, she fits in perfectly though.

Could someone help me out? my version of this movie has the wrong aspect ratio by accident--basically it's stretched out to fit a regular old style tv screen with no black bars, so everyone is VERY tall. I can re-encode it into standard 1:85 (i think that's the number) aspect like most HDTV shows are or in full 2.51:1 (I think that's right) or "full widescreen".

Can someone please let me know which aspect ratio is right? it'
s hard to tell by sampling both

i just thought I would pop in and add my two cents, as I was able to see NANA in theatres here in Japan last October.

I actually thought the movie was fantastic. Given, now that I am watching the anime and reading the manga I can understand why the die-hards are bad-mouthing it, but I believe they are expecting too much from a movie ADAPTATION.

I thought Nakashima Mika was the spitting image of Oosaki, even if her acting was slightly stale in parts, I really liked how understated she was. Ren left a bit to be desired, though I really felt the pain he was feeling during the TRAPNEST performance of "Endless Story" (you can see him blinking back the tears!!!) I love Yuna Ito and she was actually the reason I saw the movie in the first place-- because I LOVED the single.

Hachi was all kinds of cute--but Nobu was what did it for me. The train scene during the Endless Story flashback was just killer for me.
